Abstract:
In this paper, a new approach for the solution of the electromagnetic interference impact problem in closed-loop control systems with proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers is proposed. The approach is based on the application of a combined controller that consists of three controllers: PID, PI and I, when only one of them is operating at a time, and which one is operating determines the control error value. The proposed combined controller allows for achieving better resistance of the control system to the noise signals produced by electromagnetic interference compared to PID and PID with low-pass filters in derivative term controllers without deteriorating the dynamic performance of the control system. The operation of the controller has been analysed using simulation and experiments with plants, the dynamics of which are described by first-order plus dead-time transfer functions.

Open and closed-loop control systems
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
